Is there a way to select a list option so that I can get a plain text
digest?  The regular list traffic produces way too many messages, but I
cannot read the digest version on my mail system because it sends it as
a bunch of .eml attachments, and the mail system strips them out (It is
at the server side, so I can't influence the behavior).
 
On other lists I am on, they have a choice between mime digests and
plain text digests.  Is there someone who we can make suggestions too
about the list?

There is a very nice, browser based interface to this list:

www.gmane.org

you have to registers, and it chokes up a few times a year,
but, it's really cool to view/post to the list via gmane.


If you are just reading, you can (last time I looked) just
read net news....


hth,

You can both read and post using a news client via gmane.
[That's how this follow-up was posted.]

I gave up on normal mailing-list delivery a long time ago and
switched to gmane for 100% of the mailing lists I follow.

You can also post through their nntp server, as I am now.  You have to
be subscribed to the ml (I turn e-mail delivery off).  The first time
you post, gmane e-mails you a confirmation message, and you must reply
to it.

This doesn't give the flat digest the OP wants, but it might be enough
to only see the headers in the news client and download only what's
wanted.

not if you just want to read the list :)
